This was a 5 day tour !! day 1 picked up and driven to hotel , day 2 leave 7am got to hotel at 9pm,day 3 leave 7am got to hotel at 8.30pm,day 3 leave at 6.10am , day 4 7am got to hotel 7.15pm , we cancelled last day for 2 reasons, we were k..nackered so we cancelled,and couldn't do Niagara falls etc as they left at 7am and were going to drop us off at 8pm to the airport !, our flight wasn't till Wednesday 21/8/19.we got a tex saying we were the only 2 in the group, our tour was sub contracted to compass tour company, the guide said she had never heard of tours for fun !!!on our tour there were 8 people from India, us 2 Australians and 46 people from china, the guide did her best as the bus was full and she spoke in Chinese first, then mandarin and then English , which is fine but when English was spoken all the Chinese were discussing what the guide < ms Renee> had said,we followed the itenary and because we couldn't understand the guides English she had changed the itenary and instead of the war museum, which we wanted to go to we ended up in the cultural museum which we didn't want to go to as we had done that in whistler,during the tour we were told we can do our own tour through the cultural museum which we did, Niagara falls should have been on the Friday first day instead of spending all day in a hotel, and a wasted day, the bus driver was the best part, great sense of humor and he made it memorable, the hotels were all first class ,but we never got to enjoy them as we arrived so late and had to leave so early, also meals everynight were chinese buffet a mix would have been good, we did our own meals.and finally an itenary of all days before the tours with start and finish times would be good, emailed before tours starts or in the itenary when researching the tour,we wouldnt have booked had we had the full info of the tour,.Read full review

Porque me parece demasiado caro el tipo de comida que ofrecen por el precio que piden. Los buffets chinos no son de la mejor calidad aparte de que no existe variedad en la comida. De las cinco comidas incluidas 4 son buffets chinos.
Well organised. The timeliness of everything was good. In the East tour, the tour guide and bus driver was very friendly. Good choices of scenic and tourist attractions. Good choices for the meals except for the restaurant at Niagara Falls...Hiotels were clean.Read full review
Overall it was a great tour! Lex was a great tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and openly shared a lot of information with us.
The trip was the most economical way for our family of 7 to see eastern Europe. By then end, everyone was ha..ppy with the trip and learned the places they want to see again and which places they had seen enough of.
The biggest issue i had was, when we went to several of the cities we were simply dropped off in the middle of a shopping center/plaza and told to meet the bus in 2-3 hours. To me, it would have been better drive us around the city, show us the major attractions, have a photo stop or 2, and then give us 60 -90mins of free time for shopping and food.
Some the hotels lacked what i would consider essentials, like a hot water kettle, coffee cups etc. Additionally, most of the hotels were well outside the city center and had only fast food diner dinner options nearby.
None of these things were trip breakers for us, we made do and adjusted as needed.Read full review

We enjoyed our tour in general. The places we visited were very interesting and eye opening. The hotels were all clean. Food arranged were good. The tour guy Kevin is professional and knowledgeable. We learned much new information from him ..along with the tour. Kevin was also very helpful and efficient. We were very impressed by his professionalism.Without his knowledge, the visits would have been different.
Angela was also a very good tour lady. We enjoyed Niagara Falls trip with her. She worked so hard and looked after all of us very well.We were impressed by her problem solving skills,experience and the ability of dealing with changes.
The only constructive opinions I would like to raise are that we paid for 5 day trip but actually, it was actually a 4-day tour rather than a 5-day one as advertised. We did nothing in Toronto after being picked up in the afternoon and was stuck in the hotel which was so far away from anywhere else and we had nothing to do for all afternoon. Breakfast could have had more variety although it was packed. We would love to have a walked in Kingston but we just sit on the coach instead.Read full review
